Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Toilet flushing produces aerosols capable of reaching the adult breathing zone. • Seeding concentration and flushing energy drive aerosol/bioaerosol concentrations. • Aerosol/bioaerosol concentrations increase with higher seeding levels. • Aerosol/bioaerosol levels increase ~1.3-fold per additional litre per flush. • Effects of pressure, lid position and ventilation unclear due to limited data.
